Daughter returned Monday evening from a front-end-of-spring-break 4-day mission trip to Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Here’s the whole group {missionary family are the 4 on the left, my girl is the one in the front wearing the “Red” shirt}. They knocked out some serious work and got to love on the kiddos on Sunday for church. She will return with a larger group in June that will run a kid’s camp. Proud of my grown-up booger :)
Busy with lots of things lately, like making Birthday supper for this guy – Hubby turned 47 yesterday!! {Picture with my niece, Julia). Things didn’t work for a family meal yesterday…but Pioneer Woman was nice enough to share this recipe for SPICY DR. PEPPER SHREDDED PORK yesterday. That kinda food is right up his alley!! I put it in the crock pot this morning with my onion allergy alterations {no onions or chipotles in adobo, which are made with onions…added chipotle powder, cumin, ancho chile powder & fire roasted tomatoes}. Mmmm…mmm! Gonna serve it up on multigrain torillas topped with Texas coleslaw . For dessert, I’m gonna try to duplicate the flavors of our favorite Village Inn pie in a cupcake. I’ll post more on that {and cupcakes in general} later!
Extreme Cuteness Alert!!: I started subscribing to WUSLU.COM several weeks back…cuz I love those home decor discount deals. Well, they decided to offer this today. I promptly purchased today’s deal and decided to check out the ETSY SHOP OF JANEJOSS. One of those ideas that just seems so simple, but adorable…a real “Why didn’t I think of that?” moment! I am particularly in love with the black & white prints for some reason. Check them out…stinkin’ cute!
That’s ‘bout it for now…gotta get back to cookin’ for my man!!
Have a Beautiful Day {especially if it gets a little Crazy}!
